Configuration

You can change configuration at the instead-manager-settings.json (instead-manager-settings-win.json for Windows). Example:

{
    "repositories": [
        {"name": "official", "url": "http://instead-launcher.googlecode.com/svn/pool/game_list.xml"},
        {"name": "instead-games", "url": "http://instead-games.ru/xml.php"},
        {"name": "instead-games-sandbox", "url": "http://instead-games.ru/xml2.php"}
    ],
    "games_path": "~/.instead/games/",
    "interpreter_command": "instead"
}

"interpreter_command": "\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Games\\Instead\\sdl-instead.exe\""
